As part of Nottingham's incredible music, arts and fundraising festival Hockley Hustle 2019, Young Hustlers returns on Sunday 27 October with creative activities for small humans and their adults.
On the build up to the festival, Young Hustlers are holding workshops at Nonsuch Studios every sunday. This weekend they started with percussionist and New Art Exchange regular Biant Singh in discovering the positive power of music through interactive rhythm. In this workshop children learned how to bash the djembe drum and feel the unity of making music with other people bringing them together. Over the month there will be a host of activities with details listed below:
